ROCHESTER, Minn., July 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $1.1 billion holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.32, a decrease of $0.20 from diluted earnings per share of $0.52 for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income between the periods was primarily because of a $0.5 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan sales, a $0.3 million increase in compensation expense due to annual salary increases, a $0.2 million increase in the provision for credit losses, and a $0.2 million increase in other expenses primarily because of an increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a reduction in income tax expense between the periods as a result of the reduced pretax income.

President's Statement

"The gain on sales of mortgage loans decreased during the quarter as fewer loans were sold in the secondary market," said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. "In addition, deposit outflows increased our use of higher rate wholesale funding sources which increased our cost of funds during the quarter. Despite these challenges, we will continue to focus our effort on expanding our core customer deposit relationships."

Second Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.5%, compared to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest income was $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.4 million, or 30.3%, from $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest income increased because of the $62.1 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods and also because of the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.94% for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 72 basis points from 3.22% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the average yield is primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 3.50% increase in the prime interest rate between the periods.

Interest expense was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.5 million, or 848.3%, compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $52.2 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 1.13% for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 100 basis points from 0.13% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the average rate paid is primarily related to the change in the types of funding sources as more brokered deposits, certificates of deposit, and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances were used in the second quarter of 2023 than in the second quarter of 2022. These funding sources generally have higher interest rates than traditional checking and money market accounts. The increase in market interest rates as a result of the 3.50% increase in the federal funds rate between the periods also contributed to higher funding costs in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.90%, a decrease of 20 basis points, compared to 3.10% for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily because the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits exceeded the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods.

A summary of the Company's net interest margin for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses increased primarily because of the additional loan growth that was experienced in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses. The collective reserve amount increased from March 31, 2023 primarily because of the loan growth that was experienced during the quarter. The Company's qualitative reserve adjustments did not materially change during the quarter due to management's perception that economic conditions had not materially changed, including those related to the elevated inflation rate, and enacted and expected increases in the federal funds rate. Total non-performing assets were $1.8 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $1.9 million at March 31, 2023.

A reconciliation of the Company's allowance for credit losses for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Non-interest income was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 21.5%, from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.5 million between the periods because of a decrease in single family loan sales due primarily to an increase in the amount of originated mortgage loans that were placed into the loan portfolio. The increase in mortgage loans that were placed into the portfolio was the result of a targeted effort to originate loans to our executive banking clients. Other non-interest income decreased $0.1 million due primarily to a decrease in the gains realized on the sale of real estate owned between the periods. Fees and service charges increased slightly between the periods due primarily to an increase in the commitment fees earned on unused commercial lines of credit. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly between the periods due to a decrease in the aggregate balances of single family loans that were being serviced for others as more serviced loans were paid off than were added to the servicing portfolio during the period.

Non-interest expense was $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.5 million, or 6.8%, from $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.3 million primarily because of annual salary increases and also because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of the reduced commercial loan production between the periods. Other non-interest expense increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in FDIC insurance expense due to an increase in assessment rates. Occupancy and equipment expense increased slightly due primarily to an increase in building expenses between the periods. Professional services increased slightly between the periods primarily because of an increase in legal expenses. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a slight decrease in data processing expenses due to a decrease in system processing charges between the periods.

Income tax expense was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.3 million from $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

Return on Assets and Equity

Return on average assets (annualized) for the second quarter of 2023 was 0.52%, compared to 0.88% for the second quarter of 2022. Return on average equity (annualized) was 4.81% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 8.09% for the same period in 2022. Book value per common share at June 30, 2023 was $22.76, compared to $21.25 at June 30, 2022.

Six-Month Period Results

Net Income

Net income was $3.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 19.1%, compared to net income of $3.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $0.70, a decrease of $0.16 per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.86 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net income between the periods was because of a $1.1 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans because of a decrease in mortgage loan sales, a $0.8 million increase in compensation expense due to annual salary increases, and a $0.3 million increase in other expenses primarily because of an increase in FDIC insurance expense. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in net interest income due to an increase in interest rates and the amount of average interest earning assets outstanding, a $0.4 million reduction in income tax expense as a result of the reduced pretax income between the periods, and a $0.3 million decrease in professional expenses due to a decrease in legal fees.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $15.8 million for the first six months of 2023, an increase of $0.8 million, or 4.9%, compared to $15.0 million for the same period of 2022. Interest income was $20.4 million for the first six months of 2023, an increase of $4.8 million, or 30.6%, from $15.6 million for the first six months of 2022. Interest income increased because of the $58.4 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods and also because of the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.87% for the first six months of 2023, an increase of 73 basis points from 3.14% for the first six months of 2022. The increase in the average yield is primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 3.50% increase in the prime interest rate between the periods.

Interest expense was $4.6 million for the first six months of 2023, an increase of $4.0 million, or 703.3%, compared to $0.6 million for the same period of 2022. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $49.9 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 0.96% for the first six months of 2023, an increase of 83 basis points from 0.13% for the first six months of 2022. The increase in the average rate paid is primarily related to the change in the types of funding sources used between the periods as more brokered deposits, certificates of deposits, and FHLB advances were used in the first six months of 2023 than in the first six months of 2022. These funding sources generally have interest rates that are higher than traditional checking and money market accounts. The increase in market interest rates as a result of the 3.50% increase in the federal funds rate between the periods also contributed to the higher funding costs in the first six months of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first six months of 2023 was 3.00%, a decrease of 2 basis points, compared to 3.02% for the first six months of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily because the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits exceeded the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets as a result of the increase in the prime rate between the periods.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $0.2 million in the first six months of 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to $0.4 million for the first six months of 2022. The provision for credit losses decreased between the periods primarily because the impact on the provision of the additional loan growth that was experienced in the first six months of 2023 was less than it was for the same period in 2022 under the prior accounting standard.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses. The collective reserve amount increased from December 31, 2022 primarily because of the adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 and also because of the loan growth that was experienced during the first six months of 2023. The Company's qualitative reserve adjustments did not materially change during the first six months of 2023 due to management's perception that economic conditions had not materially changed, including those related to the elevated inflation rate, and enacted and expected increases in the federal funds rate. Total non-performing assets were $1.8 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2022.

A reconciliation of the Company's allowance for credit losses for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2023 and 2022 is summarized as follows:

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The transition to this ASU resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million, an increase in deferred tax assets of $0.3 million, and a decrease to retained earnings of $0.8 million as of the adoption date. In addition, a liability of $0.1 million was established for projected future losses on unfunded commitments on outstanding lines of credit upon adoption. The projected liability for unfunded commitments increased $0.1 million during the first six months of 2023 and the provision for credit losses was increased to reflect the change.

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Non-interest income was $3.9 million for the first six months of 2023, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 20.2%, from $4.9 million for the first six months of 2022. Gain on sales of loans decreased $1.1 million between the periods because of a decrease in single family loan sales due primarily to an increase in the amount of originated mortgage loans that were placed into the loan portfolio. The increase in mortgage loans that were placed into the portfolio was the result of a targeted effort to originate loans to our executive banking clients. Other non-interest income decreased slightly between the periods due primarily to a decrease in the gains realized on the sale of real estate owned. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in fees and service charges between the periods due primarily to an increase in the commitment fees earned on unused commercial lines of credit. Loan servicing fees increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in the aggregate balances of commercial loans that were being serviced for others.

Non-interest expense was $15.2 million for the first six months of 2023, an increase of $1.0 million, or 6.4%, from $14.2 million for the first six months of 2022. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.8 million primarily because of annual salary increases and also because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of the reduced commercial loan production between the periods. Other non-interest expense increased $0.3 million primarily because of an increase in advertising costs and an increase in FDIC insurance expense due to an increase in assessment rates between the periods. Data processing expenses increased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of the change to an outsourced data processing relationship at the end of the first quarter of 2022. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in professional services expense between the periods primarily because of a decrease in legal expenses relating to a bankruptcy litigation claim that was settled in the first quarter of 2022. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $0.1 million due primarily to a decrease in noncapitalized software costs between the periods.

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the first six months of 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million from $1.6 million for the first six months of 2022. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

These statements are often identified by such forward-looking terminology as "anticipate," "continue," "could," "expect," "future," "may," "project" and "will," or similar statements or variations of such terms and include, but are not limited to, those relating to: enacted and expected changes to the federal funds rate and the resulting impacts on consumer deposits, loan originations, and related aspects of the Bank's business; the anticipated impacts of inflation and rising interest rates on the general economy, the Bank's clients, and the allowance for credit losses; anticipated future levels of the provision for credit losses; anticipated level of future asset growth; and the payment of dividends by HMN.

A number of factors, many of which may be amplified by the deterioration in economic conditions, could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's assumptions and expectations. These include but are not limited to the adequacy and marketability of real estate and other collateral securing loans to borrowers; federal and state regulation and enforcement; possible legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to regulatory capital rules; the ability of the Bank to comply with other applicable regulatory capital requirements; enforcement activity of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in the event of non-compliance with any applicable regulatory standard or requirement; adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins, reduced collateral values, deposit outflows, changes in credit or other risks posed by the Company's loan and investment portfolios; changes in costs associated with traditional and alternate funding sources, including changes in collateral advance rates and policies of the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties including those from any third party cyberattack; reduced demand for financial services and loan products; adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as recent bank failures or concerns involving liquidity; changes in accounting policies and guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government or tax laws; domestic and international economic developments; the Company's access to and adverse changes in securities markets; the market for credit related assets; the future operating results, financial condition, cash flow requirements and capital spending priorities of the Company and the Bank; the availability of internal and, as required, external sources of funding; the Company's ability to attract and retain employees; or other significant uncertainties. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ from the Company's assumptions and expectations include those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A of its subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be considered in conjunction with, such cautionary statements. All statements in this press release, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press release.
